Crystal Quest Whole House Arsenic 1.5 Water Filter System

Arsenic (As) is not easily dissolved in water. Therefore, if it is found in a water supply, it usually comes from mining or metallurgical operations or from runoff from agricultural areas where materials containing arsenic were used as industrial poisons. Arsenic in water has no color, taste or odor. Arsenic and phosphate easily substitute for one another chemically, therefore commercial grade phosphate can have some arsenic in it. Arsenic is highly toxic and has been classified by the US EPA as a carcinogen which was derived from toxicity considerations rather than carcinogenicity. It features 3 stages of filtration. in the first stage, water flows through a 20-inch sediment filter cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand dirt which also extends the life of water softeners and water filters and prevents damage to control valves or pumps. in the second stage, water flows through an arsenic-reducing mineral tank. Finally, in the third stage, water flows through a 20-inch solid carbon cartridge that removes volatile organic carbon compounds (VOCs, insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents). CRYSTAL QUEST Whole House Arsenic 1.5 Water Filter System also features: A Poly Glass mineral tank filled with arsenic-reducing media, Riser style 1-inch internal flow distributor, a solid state microprocessor with LED display Electronics control valve, Chrome sleeve/jacket, Polyester fiberglass tank and a Stainless Steel Bypass Valve.
